I currently have an EVGA gtx 970 SC ACX (http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=04G-P4-2974-KR) I now want to run it in SLI. 

What type of cooler sh​ould I go for with the second card. Thinking about heat in the case.

What arrangement should I put the cards in. (i.e. reference on top, acx underneath?)

Should I be going for an aio cooler for my cpu to keep the case cooler.

Do I need additional case fans.

 

Any other blaring mistakes in my parts list, feel free to point them out. (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/8wq9mG)

Just to be clear, I have already purchased one 970, that can't be changed. (I know this was dumb but ah well)

Don't get such an expensive mobo.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

you should be fine with two 970 without changin config,

just make sure you buy a few extra case fans ( at least 3-4 intake and 2-3 exhaust )

 

I would personally get a different case and a cheaper mobo too 

Recommend what is best, not what you preffer.

Why?

 

Also, noctua NH-U14s is better value.

 

Because I could probably have gone for a 980 ti for around the same price. And would've if I had know I was going to spend this much.

 

Love the aesthetic on this mobo, so I'm probably gonna stick with it. Changed the case for a Fractal Design S windowed. spent the money saved on case fans.
